Read MoreWealthspan: Financial resources that support you throughout life
Wealthspan is the number of years your financial resources support you through life – covering everyday living, major decisions, and the rising healthcare and care costs that come with ageing. It goes beyond savings or pension capital, which simply measure what you’ve accumulated. You can enjoy a long lifespan and a long healthspan, yet still fall short on wealthspan.
In Switzerland, the gap between how long people live and how long their money lasts is widening, but thoughtful planning can meaningfully close it.
What shapes your wealthspan?
Wealthspan isn’t determined by income alone. How long your resources last depends on how early you plan, how you invest, how you prepare for healthcare and long term care costs, and how well your pension, savings, and insurance work together.Wealthspan in Switzerland – where we stand
Switzerland has one of the world’s strongest three‑pillar pension systems:
- AHV (state pension)
- BVG (mandatory occupational pension)
- Pillar 3a/3b (voluntary private savings)
But for many people, the first and second pillars combined no longer cover their pre‑retirement standard of living. As a result, retirees often rely more heavily on private savings – precisely when healthcare and care costs tend to rise.
A long life without a matching wealthspan can lead to financial dependence at a stage that should offer the most freedom.
Our role in extending wealthspan in Switzerland
Planning for wealthspan starts early. The sooner you understand your pension situation and savings options, the more room you have to act.
At Health2Wealth, we bring together financial planners, pension specialists, insurers, and engaged individuals. We translate their expertise into events, education, and practical tools that people in Switzerland can use to plan ahead and secure more years of financial freedom.
